The state of the forest fire in Llanteno, Ayala, has improved this morning, but emergency services remain vigilant and work is still under way to cool the hot stoves, strengthen the perimeter of the fire and prevent resuscitation.

The fire, which broke out on Monday afternoon in an area between Ayala, Artziniega and Gordexola, in an area of abundant pine, fern and vegetation, reignited yesterday and the Basque Government declared state 0 of the emergency phase of the Special Forest Fire Emergency Plan.

The fire started again.

The fire, which broke out on Monday, was restricted and under control, but it intensified again yesterday evening and came to overcome one of the established cease-fires.

As a preventive measure, several houses were evacuated in the neighbourhoods of Basualdo, La Cabaña, Ureta and Abiaga, some of which stayed overnight in Artziniega or Llodio, and the A-3634 road to Llantenowas also cut off by fire.

They've reinforced the shutdown.

The ground extinguishment work was reinforced yesterday evening and evening, and personnel from the fire parks of Laudi, Nanclares de la Oca and Espejo were involved, supported by rangers, forest brigades and heavy machinery.

In addition, air assets were involved throughout the day, including several extinction helicopters and support aircraft, and municipal pools in Artziniega were reused to supply water to helicopters, so that they remained closed as a preventive measure.
